Starting a dumpling thread because why the fuck not

Steamed Shanghai Dumplings from Noodles Everyday

Cabbage + your typical shanghai roll filling. Sad excuse for a dumpling.

3/10

Kuchay Dumplings from Lao Beijing. Benchmark dumpling because tangina bat ganon masyadong masarap

25/10 as per @larkvain's rating

Pork Leek Dumplings from Lao Beijing. Great option if you aren't into vegetables.

9/10

Xiao Long Bao from Lao Beijing. Wrapper's consistency may be a hit and miss everytime I go there. Better if eaten as a whole as opposed to the "right way" to eat soup dumplings

10/10!!

Shao Mai from Lao Beijing. I've been eating there for about a year now, and I just tried this earlier this week. Filled with ground pork and sticky rice. It's a little on the sweet side, but DAMN

9.5/10

The dumpling thread continues!!!

Cheese Xiao Long Bao from Tien Ma's

Gets cold fast after serving :( but still really good. A little too pricey to be part of my weekly fix.

8/10

Mo:Mo's All-in-One Combo. Includes 2 cripsy pork strips(??), a chicken lollipop, fried noodles, coleslaw, and 2 pieces each for pork, beef, and chicken dumplings, and a sauce for each Php 220 with a drink!!!

Putangina value for money palang panalo na

Chicken lollipop: solid.
Coleslaw: kebs
Fried noodles: you put ketchup on it?? Weird but it works!

I feel like i'm obligated to re-review Lao Beijing's dumplings bc may bago sa kanya + nagtaas presyo Kuchay is now Php 158, and pork leeks is now Php 162.

Nothing new taste-wise, but may noodles na yung filling ng dumplings (similar to Tien Ma's) so super nakakabusog na

Shaixan Snacks' steamed dumplings. 135 fr 8 pcs

Mej maliit. Mej lasang Jollibee shanghai yung filling. Kasing-dry ng mga convo sa bumble Di bagay ang chili paste sa black vinegar (wala silang chili oil). May tubig gripo aftertaste. Tangina three times ko to inulit

Ugh. 5/10

Dong Bei beef + pork leek dumplings. Bought by the pack, idk hm the original price is (thanks @leopartelucky )

9/10! Value for money kasi ang dami HAHAHA

(Lao Beijing pa din but this is pretty good!)

Tasty Dumplings. Php 120 for 8 pcs.

Di mainit yung dumplings. Kebs lang yung filling. Made me sad. 5/10

Gyoza from the buffet at Donu badly taken photo as I was very hungry. The unli pork and beef + buffet table access costs 499 for 2 hours.

Kebs na sana kaso di siya mainit. I had half a mind na initin siya sa grill kinda rude servers, subpar kbbq. 3/10

Moshi Koshi's Gyoza. Php 140 for 5 pcs.

...di ko mawari bakit lasog lasog siya. Would be reallyyyy sad without the dipping sauce. 4/10

Chowking's fried dumplings. Php 60 for 4 pcs.

Parang baked instead of fried ok naman yung dumpling, I guess. It tastes great with the dip but meh, 6/10 at the most. Gusto ko yung allergy na dala ng chili pucha hahahahaha

The Alley by Vikings' fried siomai. Idk how much the buffet costs, but thanks for the treat, @jonasrookie!

Discovered it had shrimp, so I stopped

Filling is good, but the dumpling is very dry. 7/10

I think the four of us agreed that the buffet as a whole was kebs lang

Suki Gyouza at The Pantree. Php 110 for 6 pcs with batta rice (whatever it is, it's good)

The last time I had these was on my last day with BPI, Dec 2017. My top 1 gyoza!! They now have a spicy dipping sauce, too. My love for them magnified a thousandfold. Masarap siya 10/10!
